• How to Sync Anything: Building a Sync Engine from Scratch — Part 3

  The CouchDB Replication Protocol is implemented in CouchDB itself, so that covers our server component. Then there is the PouchDB project implementing the same protocol in JavaScript targeted at Browser and Node.js applications; that covers your clients and dev servers. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Linear sent me down a local-first rabbit hole

  Local first is amazing. I have been building a local first application for Invoicing since 2020 called Upcount https://www.upcount.app/. First I used PouchDB which is also awesome https://pouchdb.com/ but now switched to SQLite and Turso https://turso.tech/ which seems to fit my needs much better. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• What is CouchDB? #2: Guidelines & Use Cases

  We’ve covered this a bit already, so let’s introduce something new about it: CouchDB’s sibling technology, PouchDB. Written in JavaScript, it’s designed to save your work locally on your device and then sync with your CouchDB when you’re back online, and can also be set up to automatically handle conflicts. Where automation won’t do, you can use CouchDB’s built-in UI, Fauxton, if you haven’t built your own... - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Local-first software: You own your data, in spite of the cloud

  CouchDB on the serer and PouchDB on the client was an attempt at making such an environment: - https://couchdb.apache.org/ - https://pouchdb.com/ Also some more pondering on local-first application development from a "few" (~10) years back can be found here: https://unhosted.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Comparing local-first frameworks and approaches

  “The Database that Syncs!” shouts the PouchDB homepage. PouchDB is another new local-first/sync database. PouchDB is a JavaScript database that runs in the browser, allowing developers to create applications that work offline and sync with server-side databases when online. It’s designed to be compatible with (and is inspired by) Apache’s NoSQL CouchDB. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Major updates from the open source community: Release Radar · June 2024

  Speaking of databases, this one is pocket-sized. PouchDB is a JavaScript database designed to run in the browser. This latest release includes over 202 merged PRs 😮, and comes with improved stability and performance. There's the ability to streamline the automated test suites and improve in-browser testing. Read up on the major changes in the changelog. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• What Happens When You Put a Database in the Browser?

  Another interesting option is PouchDB[0], which is a Javascript implementation of the CouchDB[1] synchronization API. It allows you to acheive eventual consistency between a client with intermittent connectivity, and a backend database.

• Are Sync Engines The Future of Web Applications?

  If you've been following trends in the web-dev world, you'd know that sync engines have been a centrepiece in several of them, namely: progressive web apps, offline-first apps, and the lately trending term: local-first software. You might have even looked into some of the databases that offer a built-in sync engine such as PouchDb or online services that do the same (e.g., Firestore). I have too, but my general... - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• Local-first software: You own your data, in spite of the cloud (2019)

  Meteor wrapped the MongoDB API for this purpose. You are working with collections and can run the same queries over them, regardless of whether you are connected to a DB instance or the browser's local storage. For CouchDB an equivalent exists in the form of PouchDB: https://pouchdb.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Figma Is a File Editor

  I have another use case that DO would be perfect for, and that's sync for offline first apps. I have two offline first apps, both using PouchDB[1] as client database and CouchDB as server database. I'd love to replace CouchDB with DO. Maybe you can hire some of the people contributing to PouchDB to build a backend for it using DO?

• Building an offline-first app with React and CouchDB

  PouchDB is a JavaScript database usable on both the browser and server, heavily inspired by CouchDB. It's a powerful database already thanks to a great API, but its ability to sync with one or more databases makes it a no-brainer for offline capable apps. By enabling PouchDB to sync with CouchDB, we can focus on writing data directly in PouchDB and it will take care of syncing that data with CouchDB, eventually.... - Source: dev.to / almost 4 years ago

• Is it possible to bundle a SQlite database file into a ReactJS web application using webpack?

  I'm not going to go into whether you should or shouldn't do that, it completely depends on your use case. Now, on how to do it - you can't use SQLite in a web app. Your best bet is indexeddb, which is very well suported https://caniuse.com/indexeddb or WebSQL, which is less-so https://caniuse.com/?search=websql or perhaps something like https://pouchdb.com/.
